It appears the 85 jersey didn't have V-neck, or if they did, it didn't go all the way down to stitch going across the chest

up close image of the tag


This is the best I can do at the moment. I'll take a picture of the tag when I get home from work:



I really appreciate your help.

i will give you the Loretta Lynch answer.....

depending on the year it could be any number of people that wore that jersey

This one definitely has the "V" neck, although I can see how it might look less pronounced when wearing shoulder pads underneath it. If the '85 jersey is that much different it would seem to rule out that year and reduce the number of potential former owners to three.

Would be that there's no definitive evidence that a former LSU player actually wore the jersey enough to justify this inquiry.

Gonna need a clear photo of the tag so my friend can compare it to his, see if wording is exact.

Now that I have looked a little closer (computer vs phone) it could be either 85 or 87 i have seen pics that resemble both styles closely

IDK if it's been said but it still may have been Gordy's jersey. Just wore it for a game and got a new one

I think it's very unlikely. He had been in possession of the jersey longer than Gordy wore the number.

It was a naïve, child's assumption on my part to make that leap.

I'm friends with Gordy on Facebook and will ask him to be doubly sure, amd also inquire about his possible contacts with the other potential candidates.

Here are a couple close-ups of the sleeve design. I've read on here that the stripe length has been modified in the past, so posting these just in case they can help further narrow it down at all.

Ok, I have sent the photos of the tag and of the jersey to a player from the 87 team. I will get back with you when I hear from him.
